Rapunzel: Original Fairy Tale VS. Animation

First thing first. I need to tell you that, this week vlog took me more than 24 hours to upload, and it ruined all of my plan. RIP my plan.

Everyone must familiar with the fairy tale called "Rapunzel." There are so many version the story about this long hair blondy, waiting in the tower for someone to safe her. The version that tend to be most famous in this century is "Tangled." However, the original fairy tail version is so different from the colourful animation from Disney. The Brothers Grimm wrote about the poor couples who the wife is pregnant, which is completely opposite to the Tangled version because Rapunzel's parents are the king and queen in this version. This is so totally opposite that it blows my mind. Started from the bottom now we are here. This escalate real quick. From poor married couple to king and queen. Haha. Okay, back to the story. The pregnant woman, as always, craving for the vegetable called Rapunzel. So, yeah. This is why her name is Rapunzel. The husband has to steal the vegetable from the witch's house. The witch caught that this guy has been stealing her vegetables. So they make a deal. The husband can takes as much vegetable as he wants but his daughter must belong to her. when the time has come. Rapunzel was born and immediately belongs to the witch. She was kept in the tall tower since then because the witch wants Rapunzel only belong to her. One day, the prince heard her voice and tell Rapunzel to let down her hair. They meet each other, fall in love, blah blah, blah. Now here come the fun part. The witch knows about this. So, she cut of Rapunzel's hair. Once the prince visit Rapunzel again, she push him down from the top of the tower. He end up blind and Rapenzel was left alone in the woods.

Totally, different from the Disney version right? This version is like totally hardcore. The Tangled version seems to be opposite from this version. The only thing that remains the same is the long blonde hair and the magic tears that has ability to heal. This version Rapunzel was stoled from the castle from her king and queen's parents. She has to keep her hair because the old lady need her healing ability from the hair. She always wanted to see "The light" and always knew that the light is meant for her. Flynn Rider meets her home tower accidentally and these two met. They took a journey to the city in order to see the light as Rapunzel' wish in exchange with the crown (which actually belongs to her.) What I like the most, beside Flynn Rider, is Maximus the horse. I have to admit that I want to have pet horse after watching this. So, now that I have a chance to make a blog, and also a vlog, I visits the horses with Makham from Tammarind blog. She is like the professional horse rider for me. She nailed it. She explain everything about horse and let me ride a horse for the first time in my life. It is a totally amazing experience. The horse that played with name's "Only You." She 's so nice just like in the disney movie. "Who said horses can't remember people?" Now my perspective toward me had changed. I totally believe that all the horses have feeling and care about people just like Maximus. It is the warm feeling that I can not explain when that much big and majestic tried to played with you. For anyone who thinks that "oh, it just an animal, It does not has feeling. It does not even recognise people." You are wrong.

By the way, This girl I'm riding name's is Tammy. She's the biggest horse from all of them. And first time riding a horse, Makham had me ride the biggest horse that some adults are not even dare to touch. She was trying to killed me. Just kidding. Tammy is a nice girl just like Only you. Oh, that guy in orange shirt is Makham's teacher. And that thing on Tammy's back is me. XD
